Summary: Sappy Love Story Too Sugery For Taste
Review: I was looking forward to reading this book after I heard the reviews. I do like a good love story once in a while and hadn't read a good one since Bridges of Madison County. This story started out well and captured my attention, and then took a turn near its end. I couldn't stand listening to the internal whining of our main character Garret any longer. Was this truly a man in love with his dead wife? His see saw of emotions was getting irritating. No women I know would have put up with it as long as our heroine did. My God, Get on with your life already! Needless to say, I was pleased with the books ending. What did I take away from this book. I wasted too much time reading when I wish I had chosen something different
Rating: 
Summary: Emotionally filled and wonderfully romantic
Review: I thought this book was filled with emotion and romance. The way that Theresa and Garrett found each other seemed to be out of a fairy tale. Even though this book ends in tragedy, I still enjoyed reading it and found it hard to put it down.

Summary: Manuscript should have been tossed overboard
Review: I enjoyed "The Notebook" and was bitterly disappointed with "Message". It was so poorly written I kept checking the cover to make sure I wasn't reading Danielle Steele by mistake. A real time waster.
Rating: 
Summary: Too convenient.
Review: I read this based on the recommendation of a friend. Since I hadn't read 'The Notebook', I didn't know what to expect, only that this was "a good book". The story was too contrived to be believable. Not that fantasy has to be, but this was ridiculous. Plus, I hate books told as a flashback because it kills and suspense or surprise as to what happens to a character. From the beginning, you know that someone dies, and it's not at difficult to figure out who. This is not my kind of book.

Summary: Return to Sender, ASAP!!!
Review: I recently read "The Notebook",and I didn't think it was great literature. However, I liked it because it was a touching and heartfelt novel. "Message In a Bottle" is a different story altogether. I'm almost finished with it, and I have to say that this book is a total dissapointment. The plot is too long, too farfetched, and totaly boring. Don't waste your money or time on this stinker.

Summary: This book is the most romantic book I've ever read.
Review: I loved this book! It's great mix of romance and tragety was beautiful. The love that Nicholas Sparks protrays in the letters that Garrett writes is astonashing. I definetly reccomend it. I could not put it down the whole time. The true feeling and emotion captured in this book is so real. That is what I liked best about it. A love story unlike any other. This book is a true masterpiece.

Summary: PEPSI-LIGHT WITH A MANIPULATIVE AFTER-TASTE
Review: Premise predictable with characters of little depth. Would not have finished if movie was not coming out, and believed there must be more to the book to even warrant a movie. Still worth seeing Costner...Paul Newman is perfectly cast as the father role
Rating:
Summary: It is one of the greastest stories I ever read.
Review: I found that the story was very refreshing. Though the plot usually the same as others, I felt that the characters handles their emotions rather well. I wish every romance had a little bit of spice that this one had. I highly recommend this novel to every one.

Summary: Best book I read in a long time
Review: I bought this book yeasterday and I couldent put it down till I was done. I have read a lot of books in my life but this one is by far the best one I read yet. This is a true romance novle about fate and how it works. If you havent already read this book go out and get it. And if have read it read it again.

Summary: This author knows how to write about passion, love, romance
Review: I have never read a book that was written so well. Nicholas Sparks must have a bit of both male and female in him to be able to write such romance. The feelings that come out in this book is amazing. He captures you at the very beginning and you cant put the book down untill you have finished. I found myself holding my breath at certain parts in the book. I liked the way you got to know the characters. I liked the fact that when Nicolas Sparks wrote about the places the characters were in, I could see it so well in my mind. This is truly a great book. Well done. And I cant wait for his next book.
